Surface analysis of cannabigerol cocrystals: linking crystal structure to enhanced properties.

ABSTRACT: Cannabigerol is a bioactive compound derived from Cannabis sativa. It displays many promising pharmaceutical and nutraceutical properties. Its use and research are complicated by its thermally unstable solid form with low solubility and needle habit, preventing easy formulation into tablets or capsules. To overcome these problems, we conducted a crystallization screening with the aim to discover new crystal forms with enhanced properties. Though polymorph and solvate screenings did not yield new forms, the cocrystal screening was successful. Two cocrystals were discovered, one with piperazine and another with tetramethylpirazine, both in a 1:1 ratio. The latter can exist in three polymorphic forms. Both offer improvements in the melting point and crystal habit, and the cocrystal with tetra
